Gunpowder Agricultural Club, Sr.-This

Gunpowder Agricultural Club, Sr.-Thi'
club held its regular monthly meeting at the resi-
dence of Col. w. S. Franklin. on the 9Th instant
The proceedings were of an interesting character
and much pleasure was afforded the members.
Upon the principal subject discussed Mr.. Ed
ward Austen said Farming too much land
blowing it up too much, is loss. Most farmers,
who have no outside means would make more
money by farming so than $50 or 200 acres. A
prolific sourse of loss is lack of proper accounts
systematic keeping of receipts and expenditures
A farmer can no more guess what he is doing
than he can guess which cow pays and which
doesn't. Want of system begets loss so does
non paving STOCK scrubs that cost twice as much
by the time they get to the butchers as he pays
for them. If you are going to raise beef cattle
buy of the beef breeds; if you are making butter
or selling milk, buy dairy cattle. Other losses are
too many tools, rundown buildings, fences and
tools. Repairs are not made in time, and ma.
chinery is not kept up. On most farms you will
find under sheds enough junk to start shop
Farmers make too many experiments is, in
changing o system not thoroughly tried. There
is want of thoroughness, too much beginning a
thing and not inishing starting one thing and
before it is completed going at something else.-
Loss of time is serious thing. 1t would pay
any farmer keeping one hand to give him fifty
cents month extra to sew up his brooches pockets
Among other avoidable losses are growing I'M
profitable crops, going to auction sales, and keep
ing dogs" - uu.
would save waste in not allowing hogs to run at
large, getting into crops and sometimes reaching
our neighbours. There is great loss with thresh-
ers. Last month machine was broken standing
in my barn, and for weeks the doors could not be
closed. Too many pleasure horses are kept, and
loss is incurred by waste of manure.

A "Walking Delegate Taught New
Step.-On Tuesday last strange man made his
appearance at one of the large breweries on the
Frederick road, pretending to be looking for work.
He saw the proprietor and after being told that
there was nothing for him to do, asked permission
to 90 into the brewery. This was granted and as
he came out he noticed q man working about the
yard. He approached him and after some con-
versation asked if he did not know that the day
was a holiday and that he ought not be working.
He also said that he believed the men at the brew
cry were working more than eight hours and that
he proposed to ''report" the place. The brew
master heard this conversation and coming out
wanted to know what right the fellow had to come
there and interfere with the workmen. The man
said he was "waIking delegate" and grew very
impudent, when the brewmaster knocked him
down after the most approved fashion and threw
him out of the place. On the outside he again
commenced talking, when very peaceable citizen
told him that the Frederick road was chad place"
for man like him and advised him to go away
peaceably or he might fare badly. At this the
"walking delegate" grew very abusive and
the quiet citizen thought the time to act had
come He Just walked into that "walking dele
gate" and literally wiped up the ground with him,
and when he got through the "walking delegate"
gathered himself up and made tracks for more
congenial locality. 1t is safe to say that when
he wants to try his walking" racket again he'll
90 elsewhere to do it. If all "walking delegates"
were treated in like manner it would be blessed
good thing

A Little Coal Bill and Pistol.-A coal
firm doing business in the Belt, had disagree
able experience ON Tuesday last. One of their
customers, who also lives in the Belt, was very
slow about paying a coal bill and the firms COL
lector had been dunning him persistently. His
last call Monday evening, when the debtor
returned from his place of business in the city,
and he promised to settle the account the next
day without fail. True to his word be appeared
at the Office of the firm Tuesday, and, after pay
ing the bill, stepped back, drew pistol and told
the man who took the money that he intended to
shoot him full of holes. Of course this rather
startling information Hurried the business man a
good deal and he bethought himself of the short
est cut to safety. There was no convenient hole
to crawl into-although a very small one would
have answered about that time-so he had to face
the music. He demonstrated with the man with
the pistol; told him he wasn't prepared to die,
and even if he he despised to go by the "short
line" on such brief notice. Finally he was able
to hustle the Infatuated out of the Office, and,
after thoughtfuly turning the key in the door, he
executed a double-shuf1e and congratulated him
self upon the awfully narrow escape he had made.
The man who owed the coal bill will be handled
very gingerly by his creditors hereafter, but for
this triaing bit of fun he was arrested and bound
over to keep the peace. Strange man can't
amuse himself these days without the Intervention
of the law.

A Bright Little Girl.-The Philadelphia
Times says "Lillie Stuck, the 14yearO daugh-
ter of the State librarian composed the words and
music of 'Slumber Song Her music teacher
advised her to allow him to rearrange it, as is was
so intricate and difficult of rendition that ordinary
singers could not do justice to it. She would not
have the score changed, saying she had made it
unusually difficult for a special purpose. Then
she sent it to Adelina Patti, signing an assumed
name. A few days ago she heard from Madame
PATHS private secretary that the diva was sing
ing the 'Slumber Song in concerts in the West. "
Miss Stuck is daughter of Col. Edward Stuck,
editor of the York (Pa.) Age, and niece of Capt.
E. Herman, of the Sheppard Asylum, near Tow

Some Very Good Advice.-The American
Farmer says: at often happens, even when re-
ceipts are taken for moneys paid, that they are
misslaid and cannot be found. And sometimes
these bills are presented for second payment, not
always through roguish intention, but because OF
neglect to enter payment in the books. Rather
than be harrassed by the vexatious circumstances
of a lawsuit in such cases, if the amounts be
small, many persons would rather submit to dou-
BILE payment. To obviate like contingencies, de-
vote five minutes of leisure time to making file.
A wire of any convenient length, with wooden
stop at one end and hook at the other for hang
ing up, will answer On this, string every receipt
as soon as a bill is paid. The precaution will
save trouble"

Hereford, 9TH District.-The quiet of our
village was disturbed on Wednesday evening, 10th
inst. Men and women marched about with mys-
FERROUS tread, each bent on some errand. At a
given signal the line of march was taken up, and
an attack on the parsonage of the M. Z. church
ordered. The pastor, S. M. Afford, an in
offensive citizen, was pounded, rolled, bread and
buttered, preserved and jellied, canned and egged
and snuffed at. Sixty eight persons, represent
ing Mt. Carmel and Hereford congregations, joined
in the attack, and the pastor assured his friends
that this was the largest donation ever received
by him. "Patsy" was not forgotten, as a number
of sacks of corn very clearly indicated. Quite a
pleasant evening followed, with singing and social
intercourse, interspersed with cake and lemonade.

Complaints About the Hillen Road

Complaints About the Hillen Road.-A
delegation of 9th and 18th district taxpayers,
composed of Messrs. Alexander, Thomas and
Robert Brodie, Frederick Morton, Larkin Reed
and others, called on the County Commissioners
Wednesday to make complaint about the Hillen
road north for about II miles from the point of
its intersection with the Hartford pike. They rep
resented the road to be in an outrageousy bad
condition, and stated that Jones & Thorn, con-
tractors on the Hartford Run sewer, are hauling
stone over this portion of the road with teams,
composed of eight and ten mules, cutting up the
road so badly that it is almost impossible for
other vehicles. They also complained that the
teamsters monopolize the whole road, refusing to
turn either to the right or left to allow others to
pass, thus making it dangerous to other persons
who are compelled to travel the road. The Board
listened attentively to what the gentlemen had
to say, but informed them that it was not possible
for them to render any assistance in the premises
They propose to lay the matter before the next
Grand Jury in the hope that some relief may be
afforded them.
